Cheesy Nail Art

This past weekend I did a broadcast at the 6th Annual California Artisan Cheese Festival. I love this festival, so much good cheese! And generally there's wine and beer to pair with the cheese, so that doesn't hurt either. Here are the nails that I paired with our broadcast.

I stared with a base of China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, then painted 'swiss cheese' holes using yellow, brown, and white acrylic paints. I topped with Seche Vite topcoat. 

Here are bottle shots of my first four Sonoma County themed nail polishes, now available at Tallulah Boutique in Healdsburg, California. I will have them for sale on etsy in May.

Here's part of the interior of Tallulah Boutique. It is SUCH a great shop and I am so thrilled that they are carrying my polish line. If you are in the area, I encourage you to go check them out. You can find Tallulah Boutique at 226 Healdsburg Avenue, in Healdsburg, CA.
